Downgraded to 5.10 Kernel.

With Kernel 5.11 I tried both adding the

{{ Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection }}

and renaming the identifier in device section as mentioned (from Device0 to Nvidia Card) with no luck at all!

Also tried keeping only the minimal config in case that something else on the previous working config breaks but with no luck either.

I don't know if it's SDDM problem or Xorgs (I do use SDDM too) but I know for sure that previous kernel works!!

Good to know you guys figured it out.

But lets remember this thread is not for discussing display managers or window managers. The best would be a wiki entry explaining all your specific DM and WM configs and tweaks.

Let's keep this space to talk about the NVIDIA driver.

Alright is seems that sddm might be the culprit with 5.11 kernel not showing. I went and disabled sddm login manager and installed lightdm-gtk-greeter and enabled it with systemctl and rebooted to linux 5.11 and works just fine.

Update - It seems that sddm desktop manager does want to show up on 5.11 but on 5.10 it works fine. So my idea is what if i just launch plasma desktop without a desktop manager. I stopped sddm with systemctl. I made my ~/.xinitrc i type in "exec startplasma-x11" for xorg and saved and exit. I typed in "startx startplasma-x11" and boom plasma DE worked so i might have a feeling that sddm or something is the cause of the issue. I gonna have to test other login managers or desktop manager to see what up. But i finally managed to get to the desktop with 5.11 kernel.

@CourteousGeek without providing dmesg logs or Xorg logs I can't help you. @esturiano I don't use SDDM.

I don't want to spam the thread with useless messages. If you guys want I can try help. I'm on Freenode and matrix.org

@vicpt I saw your сcomments in step 15 and did everything as you suggested. But the SDDM does not start. Yours starts, but several users report that it does not.

@vicpt I've tried but can't to get passed the tty,i have added the xorg config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf correct with syntax and permissions seems normal, i can't get an Xorg log because sddm needs to be started. 5.10 works normal but 5.11 don't.

@Zappo-II for older kernels the best approach is building yourself. For 5.4 you have all you need here: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/?h=nvidia-340xx&id=3a9e967aea20f3d3ab5e551b90bad8155a34d248

vicpt commented on 2021-02-26 23:42 (UTC)

@ansgoati it should work, check your config file ownership and permissions (and syntax if you wrote by yourself). If all good and still not work, check your Xorg logs to see whats going on.

vicpt commented on 2021-02-26 23:28 (UTC)

@esturiano not a driver problem, driver works as expected on 5.11.
